In Fate's Hands

Slumber Party

Two updates in one day! Enjoy.

Sana: "OH! My parents told me that we are going with your parents to your game next Friday. How come you have been struggling? Anything I can help with? You won't let me help you with your talent show performance... so please let me help you with this?" (She gives me the irresistible puppy dog eyes...)

You: "Well to be honest, just talking with my best friend has really helped me. But I do need to watch film on the opposing team. It can get quite boring doing it by myself. I know you do not know much about football, but you could join me?"

Sana: (Her eyes get big in excitement) "Really?!? Tonight? I will go tell our parents. We can make popcorn; I will take notes for you! No offense, but your handwriting is kind of bad, and mine is so pretty! Oh, and you are staying the night then. Okay, be right back." (She smiles cutely at me before running downstairs singing happily.)

You: "That is why you are the sunlight that keeps my heart going... I can't help it Sana... It is you."

(A few minutes pass, and you hear footsteps running up the stairs. Sana comes running back into her room and jumps on her bed next to you smiling.)

Sana: "Your dad is the best!"

You: "I mean I know, but why is he the best in this situation?"

Sana: "My dad said no at first, because he said I would just distract you and it would affect your performance for the game." (She pouts, and then smiles again.) "But your dad talked him into letting it happen. He said as long as I make sure you do what you are supposed to do it's okay! So, let's walk to your house and go grab your laptop and the film!"

You: "Sure, ladies first." (I lift my hand and motion for her to go ahead.)

(She stands up and begins walking downstairs as I follow her. I stick my head out the back door to let our parents know that we were heading over to my house for me to grab the film and clothes to sleep in. We then head out the front door and over to my house. When we get to my room, I go into my closet to grab some clothes. When I exit the closet, I see Sana writing on my whiteboard. She seems pretty pleased with herself.)

You: "What are you doing?"

(Sana smiles at me and begins to giggle. She turns the whiteboard around looking proud. Written on the whiteboard is "Sana" with a heart around it.)

You: "What is that for?"

Sana: "So if you have anyone else in here, they know that you already have a best friend and her name is Sana!"

(I sigh and laugh at her.)

You: "I am surprised you did not write Squirrel, since you made me come up with that nickname years ago to signify just how close we were..."

(Sana looks at me and goes wide-eyed then nods her head. She turns the whiteboard around, erases it, and then starts over.)

You: (I just shake my head at her and laugh.) "Sana, please don't change. You really are one in a million."

Sana: "Aw, that is the nicest thing you have ever said to me!"

You: "I mean it is not often you find someone so clingy... Probably one person in every million is as clingy as you. You really came in my room and wrote your OWN name on my whiteboard so that IF I had someone in here, they would know I had a best friend..."

(Her smile turns into an angry face.)

Sana: "I should have known you would ruin something so sweet!" (She throws the whiteboard on my bed and storms out of my room.)
